Hello I've got a jaz drive sat around which sounds like it works, it spins a disk up and ejects and so fourth. Now I just need the right cable but im not having much luck finding anything confirming what sort of SCSI is on the back of it. Just from looking at pictures and going on what it looks...

Well they come in two parts, (brick and plug), you could check the separate bits with each other to see if you can salvage a full one out of the two dead supplies. I've had a plug fail and continued using the brick with another one.

Neat. Is it a stock 5300ce or did it go through Apple's rebuild programme? There should be a date printed on the copper sheet that sits underneath the battery if so. Soldering the power connector on is all you need to do, as thats all that holds it on in the first place. That said, just being...

Interesting stuff. How do you go about cracking these batteries open? :)

Just smashed it into Tin Eye, and there doesn't seem to be anything of better quality, just a few upscales, and this.

Got me a parts donor, a CS with a knackard case and screen but a funtional keyboard. Unfourtunately the keys are covered in super glue so im now wondering how realistic it might to switch the caps over. Low I exspect, I cant imageing i'd manage that without snapping some things. Taking the...

It's just dawned on me that this keyboard you have will be US layout, which is technically not that big-a-difference from UK, particually on laptops, but I may have sourced a full parts donor with a £ button and the power socket pin I need too.  Very much appriciate the offer though. 8) So I...

I'm in the UK, so postage is maybe feasible as it's nice and light, however I have had an idea, if it can get to an address in California for early next month, it could come back with some colleagues out there on a work trip. I'll have to worth this out but let me know how much you want for it...

Hello I got a PB 5300c recently, and as far as I can see only two things on it are broken (which given this models reputation, is probably quite good). The first is the battery which was at the early stages of leaking, caught it just in time before it did any serious damage, and the second is a...

So I guess what might have happened here is that the 5230 model was a configuration only for Japan, hence why the Japanese resource you have linked is saying 100. Everything else refers to the computer as 5230CD which is what (according to Wikipedia) Europe and presumably the rest of Asia got...

Did the ROM slot have a purpose?

I can get at the power supplies no problem, but for sure, im not sure where to stick a multimeter so a photo could be very useful. Not sure if this will effect it or not but the old dead 630's power supply was very different to the replacement one. Image below, the working one is behind. This...

So more interestingly, the macine has taken to turning itself on, no input from my whatsoever. I'v been keeping it unplugged when not in use as a result...

Does anyone know much about the performance benefits of the full 040 over the LC counterpart? I think I remember reading somewhere that the FPU's presence didn't really effect the majority of things that these machines are used for these days.

The way I see it, if you wan't a System 7 68k Mac to actually use and it doesn't matter how rare or special it is, the 630 should be near the top of the list of considerations. They are cheaper than pretty much all other models (perhaps not as cheap as the LCs but most of those were compromised...

Hello Recently got a replacement Performa 630 after my last one croaked it. I have a quuck question about start-up. So this one needs to be plugged in for a minute or so before it fires up and i'm just wondering why that is. I'm guessing that as its soft power running through the keyboard that...

Well i'v taken the pram out, inspected the logic board and pressed it's wee red button (all seems fine) and tried a different kettle lead to no avail, so i'm thinking it probably is the power supply. Bit of a shame, it gave no indications that it was on the blink

Hi guys I've got a 630 that won't turn on. It sits on my desk in the warm and was last running quite happily maybe a month ago, playing some Diskworld. So i'm just wondering what the things are to check, i'll open it up and have a look for any damage/bad caps and disconnect the clock battery...

Interesting stuff, thanks! Is there a minimum OSX version for USB 2 speeds?

What OSX is this? Leopard (dont know about older ones) can run Screen Flow which I found to be better than Snapz Pro.
